Hell’s Kitchen is an American reality competition television series based on the British series of the same name. Broadcast on Fox, it is hosted by celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay. Two teams of chefs compete for a job as head chef at a restaurant.

A typical episode begins with a challenge between the teams; the winning team gets some sort of a reward that usually involves some sort of recreational activity outside the Hell’s Kitchen, while the losers are given “punishment” that usually involves some sort of menial task.
The second part is a dinner service, where each team works in their own kitchen, attempting, under close and hypercritical supervision from Chef Ramsay, to complete the service without getting kicked out before finishing for too many errors.
The usual wrap-up involves whichever team is declared the loser of the dinner service choosing two of their own to be up for elimination.
